Archive for the ‘Bose S1 Pro’ Category

After a few attempts at a small portable gig rig with easy in and out and quick set up I think I found it. It’s the Sennheiser XSW-D Transmitter & Receiver Instrument Base Set, Córdoba45 FP with LR Baggs Lyric Classical Pickup, and Bose S1 Pro. No AC needed to Power this system.

It’s easy to charge. The initial charge takes about 2hrs to get to 100%(note you will need an additional USB A- USB-C) Cable if you want to charge both at the same time as well as the wall plug. I can say after getting a full charge the system worked perfectly for my 30 min test. I will be putting the system through it’s paces this week. For my test I used a Cordoba 45FP with LR Baggs Lyric Pickup to a Bose S1Pro Speaker.

For Train, Plane, Walking I have a two pack System Rig. One Guitar Case (BAM) and (1-2) Bose S1 Pro Bag’s with all Cables and Boss Wireless. Easy set up for wedding ceremony , cocktail hr, reception, small wineries, indoor outdoor venues. No ac needed.

*** Update***

The Boss Wireless was sent back after repeated drop outs while performing.

The Complete Set Up.

Can easily fill this room with great guitar sound and no drop out with Boss Wireless.

Ez set up 1000w QSC CP8 & TouchMix 8 and it Bose TM4, Sennheiser G3 Wireless, DPA 4099G, and Culpepper w Dogal strings. And AudioTechnica Wireless. My personal preference was with QSC TouchMix8 for eq. The eq is very easy to program and get great sound. This will be the system I start using for restaurant gigs this 2019 and for a few other projects with other musicians. We’re trying to just Mic our instruments. I’ll be using QSC and EV for most gigs in 2019 and Bose S1Pros for outdoor weddings.

I have for a long time wanted to be able to have a very easy and portable rig that sounds fantastic. It would be able to accommodate using a mixer as well as my DPA 4099G microphone. For me to be able to play outdoor weddings or outdoor events with an easy set up and no need for AC is a must. I’m so glad that this year Bose came out with the S1 Pro. I i’ve been using the S1pro for the last six months with no issues and I’m very happy with it (them I have 2) however to play things in stereo I needed a mixer and I’m glad that Behringer has a battery powered stereo mixer with phantom power. The Behringer Xenyx 1002B. The mixer when using phantom power needs 3 9 V batteries but if you’re only running the mixer without phantom power 2 9 V batteries. And then using my DPA 4099 microphone I use the Sennheiser G3 wireless we’re both the transmitter and receiver run on two AA batteries. All my batteries are rechargeable from batteries on the Bose to the batteries on the Behringer and the Sennheiser wireless system for my paddleboard I have a pedal train volto 2 battery that powers my LR bags Align Series EQ, Reverb, DI, TC Electronic Spark Booster & Looper & Line 6G30 Wireless.

The Compact and lightweight travel system is completed. It begins with the Andy Culpepper Flamenco Blanca with the LR Baggs Dual Source Pick Up going to the pedalboard by CNZ Audio and powered by Pedaltrain’s Volto 2. The pedals are the Line 6 G30 (Underneath) LR Baggs Align Series Equalizer, Reverb, TC Electronic Spark & Ditto, LR Baggs Active DI. Then XLR Out to the Bose S1 Pro PA.

Very happy with this small “Gig Rig” 5 gigs and works well and sounds great. It also is very light. The Bose S1 Pro w Battery, Cordoba F7 Paco with Fishman Ellipse Matrix Dual Source Pickup in a Mono Classical Guitar Case/Bag and a Fishman Platinum Stage Preamp/DI. Everything I need fits into 3 small pices.
